What’s the greatest collection you have ever owned?

This was the greatest collection I ever owned. I Started when I was a kid and it grew to over 250 games. 5 years ago I sold the lot on eBay for $4000

I have always loved collecting stuff. I still have a ton of un-opened McFarlan toys. Old fishing lures etc…

What’s your favourite collection ?

I’m not much for collecting - other than cannabis seeds :smile:. I am holding a working Sega machine with '94 and '95 hockey though! Can never give it up. This is the game the guys were playing in the movie “Swingers”

Not sure how great they are but I recently found my collection of rolling papers from the Black Crowes and Govt Mule shows I attended mostly back in the 90’s.

Hi Folks! I guess I’ll just go with my seeds. I’ve added up what I had 2 years ago and found out I can plant 5 a week and not run out well past my expiration date. the latest acquisitions are the two in foil packs. The one with 50 seeds is A-dub x sour grape, the one with the back to us is royal purple x milkstash. Tons of fire in there, tons!

I used to collect records back in the late 70s and 80s and have been planning to record them to the computer and make MP3s out of my favorite songs and albums. Will likely never get around to it and my son doesn’t really want them so I might as well sell them.

I’ve only cataloged one box so far and have two boxes to go.

At the end of each title is my rating of the condition of each. I used to buy new ones then record them to tape and put the album away so many are in like-new condition. Put lots into new vinyl sleeves too if they didn’t already have one.

C= Album cover
A= The album itself
I= Inserts that came with the album (Y or N) sl means sleeve.

Scale is 1 - 10 with 10 being perfect.
